Select the destination
It can be hard to choose a destination among the many beautiful places in the US. Imagine yourself in a beautiful national park, or taking in the ocean breeze. Traveling outside of our own backyards is a treat in these times. Glacier National Park and Grand Canyon are my top three bucket list destinations in the US. Yosemite is also on my list. These national parks are a great place to take in the majestic pine trees, beautiful landscapes, and be surrounded by mountains. Amtrak Vacations offers hundreds of vacation packages that will suit every traveler, whether you’re looking for a quick getaway or a full immersion in nature. You can also contact one of our rail experts if you have any difficulties narrowing down your destination.
Find out the route
A journey by train is a great option for those looking to experience a unique bucket-list travel experience. You will experience a journey unlike any other from the moment you step onto the train and travel down the narrow corridor to the panoramic windows in the Observation car. You can get an idea of how this journey will look if you look at the train route to your destination. If you are having difficulty choosing a destination, this can help you to visualize where the train will take you. Join us for a live webinar presentation to learn more about the train’s route and the experience onboard.
